doing $env:VITE_PLUS_SKIP_DEPS_INSTALL = "1" first, then installing using irm https://vite.plus/ps1 | iex followed by vp install does the trick for now.

have to turn of windows defender smart screen though, or it doesn't let me do vp install

edit: i wouldn't recommend; doesn't work. you get a lot of different issues after this.

@mridxl I just released version 0.1.13, can you re-run the install script? See if there are any similar error messages.

Just tried to install Vite+ and ran into this issue as well:

 PowerShell 7.6.0
 PS <path>> irm https://vite.plus/ps1 | iex

@vfweiss @mridxl I tried to fix the installation script a bit, could you help verify it?
